The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 215: A request for help

Views:

People's hearts seem insignificant at certain moments, but extremely important at certain moments. Today's Wei State is an extremely important moment.

Wei has been weak for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, Wei's confidence has been completely lost due to repeated defeats in wars. It no longer has the momentum to sweep the world and give up on others like it did in the early Warring States Period.

Under this situation, especially the State of Qin, they beat the State of Wei into a state of disability with one hand. Qin took away most of the territory of the State of Wei, which made the entire Wei State lose their lives to Qin. , there is always some lack of confidence in my heart.

Even though the situation in the world is very good now, the Allied Forces are continuing to advance vigorously, regaining their territory originally occupied by the Qin State, and forcing the Qin State's sphere of influence back to the vicinity of Hangu Pass again.

Among them, Wei State gained the most. Not only did it regain all the territory it had lost, it also invaded and seized the original Hanoi County of South Korea, truly expanding its territory.

Now there is only one Hedong County and a small area centered on Anyi City, which has not been captured.

Moreover, the confidence and fighting spirit of the Wei army gradually recovered through continuous victories, and became less vulnerable than before.

But in the final analysis, they still have a fear from the bottom of their hearts towards the Qin people.

This is not a psychological reason, but a legacy passed down to their bloodline due to the defeats of their ancestors generation after generation.

If you want to restore their confidence, you must really do something to make them think that they have defeated Qin and revitalized Wei.

Well, for such a significant event, what could be better than recovering the old capital, completely driving the Qin people back to the west of the Yellow River, and completely blocking them in Hangu Pass!

Thinking about these trivial things, King Wei became even more irritable. Now this feeling of powerlessness made King Wei, whose heart began to swell because of the victory all the way, very unhappy. He hated this feeling of not being able to control everything.

Suddenly, a loud voice of report came from outside the camp: "Report, report to the king, there is an envoy from the royal family outside the city asking to see you!"

King Wei, who had been upset when he heard the guard's interruption, was about to take the object he was unhappy with and operate it to teach him a lesson and relieve his worries.

However, after hearing the content of the guard's report, King Wei just swallowed the words he wanted to give an order, and then frowned, becoming even more confused.

"Tell me, what is the purpose of this imperial kingdom coming to my camp?" After waving his hand and driving away the dancing singers, King Wei frowned and asked the officials in the tent in confusion.

After hearing King Wei's words, many ministers in the camp fell silent for a while. They all looked at each other. They did not reply immediately, but pondered over King Wei's question.

Seeing the behavior of many ministers in the tent, King Wei was not angry. Instead, he was very understanding and gave him some time to think slowly.

After all, the answer you come up with after careful consideration is much more reliable than the answer you just say casually.

"Your Majesty, from what I can see, my country is dead and I'm afraid it's someone asking for help!" said the majestic old man, whose hair and beard were all white, but whose face was rosy and obviously well-nurtured.

"Oh! The Prime Minister actually thought that Yu Guo came to ask for help. How could he see it? You know, among the unified countries, even in the current form, Yu Guo's strength still takes the lead!" King Wei was a little surprised, obviously. I didn't expect that my prime minister would come up with such an answer.

The King of Wei had always believed that the Yu State was so strong that he did not need to ask for help from other countries. This time he came here just to give instructions to his Wei State, asking Wei State to attack a certain place in the Qin State to cooperate with the Yu State's strategy.

Seeing the surprised look in her king's eyes, the old prime minister was quite proud and laughed a few times, making her white hair and silver beard tremble.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be surprised. I am just discussing the matter. Judging from the current situation in the world, the Qin State has been forced to the point of exhaustion and will no longer regain its previous momentum of dominating the world and sweeping across the world!

The Qin State has now been pushed to the extreme, and it is time for the dog to jump over the wall. That's why he frantically recruited 600,000 old and weak soldiers and sent them to the front line, regardless of completely destroying the country's capital, hoping to rely on these rabble to turn the tide of the war.

However, this is not a stupid move. At least on the front of the battlefield, the three-nation coalition of Yuguo, South Korea and Yan, which alone resisted most of the pressure from Qin, would find it difficult to resist this powerful force.

After all, it is an army of millions. With the strength of only 350,000 coalition troops, how can they stop it? So asking for help is doomed! "After such a long speech, the old prime minister couldn't help but panting and his face turned red.

However, the old prime minister felt quite proud in his heart. At the critical moment, it turned out that the old man was still the hotter one. In today's scene, it was still necessary to rely on an old minister like him to control the situation!

"So that's it. In the opinion of the Prime Minister, should our Wei State send reinforcements? After all, with the current situation in Hedong County, it seems that our Wei State can take over the old capital with just one more force! "After hearing the old prime minister's explanation, although King Wei understood the current situation, he didn't really want to send reinforcements.

"Of course we have to dispatch. Your Majesty, you have to understand the fact that today's Yuguo is not fighting the world for itself and fighting tooth and nail to resist Qin's attack. Instead, it is for the countries in our alliance to fight against Qin at all costs. Fighting, just for the so-called population!" Speaking of this, the prime minister also sighed and felt lucky.

What worries him is that the Yu Kingdom has no direct interests left in the Central Plains, such as uncedable territory. Therefore, there is no need for Yu Guo to fight head-on with Qin. Instead, he can retreat at any time and retreat to his northern snowy territory.

Fortunately, Yuguo has no desire or need for territory, and will not compete with other countries for the territory lost by Qin. Otherwise, at least the Wei State will not be able to take over such a large territory now. It will be lucky to get one or two counties under the strong oppression of the Yu State.

"This, what the old prime minister said is that the lonely king has lost his mind. Reinforcements must be sent, but how many will be sent?" King Wei immediately woke up after the old prime minister said this.

The King of Wei is not a fool. To be able to reach the position of king, he has more or less political skills. I didn't notice it before, it was just that my mind was blinded by desire. Now that I became clear, I immediately noticed the key.
